Living Mass

This book deals with: unfamiliar meetings, catapults, botched graveyard gardening; with Merve Verlag, Maas Verlag, rubbish; with the man of my age, onions, hope & lotto, SO36; with rubble grey, Poland, Baudrillard, Virilio, Tangerine Dream; with regular get-togethers at the pub, proof for the existence of God, mail, Frieder Butzmann; fresh shirts, Kohlenberta and the speed of light; with DJ Erwin, Foucault, hardboard and toilet handles, with the Galerie Petersen and the Galerie Frei, with the Museum of Modern Art; with Daphne, pony tail, spacing, sin and penance, with air works and military graves.

In eight lengthy sessions Thomas Kapielski talked about all of this and thus heaved his sheer living mass onto the scales of contemporary history as an autobiography in conversations.

»These eight discussions or dialogues by this 72-year-old writer, visual artist and musician are absurd, humorous, written down with an open mind, with rage, generosity, and a great deal of love. A fabulous book.« Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung
